Subject: [PATCH] tpm_tis: Check for an error after exhausting send retires
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 21:13:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410211350.1132611-1-jacqwong@google.com> (raw)

From: Jordan Hand <jhand@google.com>

tpm_tis_send_main() will attempt to retry sending data TPM_RETRY times.
Currently, if those retries are exhausted, the driver will attempt to
call execute. The TPM will be in the wrong state, leading to the
operation simply timing out.

Instead, if there is still an error after retries are exhausted, return
that error immediately.

Additionally, add logging to more easily determine reason for transmit
failure.

Fixes: 280db21e153d8 ("tpm_tis: Resend command to recover from data transfer errors")
